„ir íimrs-Ttrraíd WIDNKSDAY DECEMBER. 1C1IM. How Elephants (’limb. Elephants are able to make their wav up and down mountains and through a country of steep cliffs, where mules would not dare to venture, and even where men find passage difficult. Their tracks have been found upon the yerv summits of mountains over 7000 feet high. In these journeys an elephant is often compelled to descend hills and mountainsides which are al most precipitous. This is the wav it is done: The elephant’s first maneuver is to kneel dcwn c’-ose to the declivity. One foreleg is then cautiously passed over the edge and a short way down the slope, and it' he find there is no spot for a firm foothol I lie speedily forms one by stamping into the soil if it is moist or kicking out a footing if it is dry When he is sure of a good foothold the other foreleg is Brought down in the same way. Then he performs the sain ■ work over again with his feet, bringing both forelegs a little in advance for the first hoothold This leaves good places already' made for the hind feet. Now bracing himself up by his huge strong forelegs he draws his hind lags, first one and then the other, carefully over the edge, where they occupy the first places made by the forefeet. This is the wav the huge animal proceeds all the way down, zigzag, kneeling with his forefeet. Thus the center of gravity is pre served anti the huge beast prevent e<l from toppling over on his nose. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Six wee very severe cold; was almost unable to speak.
